In this chapter, we started by defining the latest version of the IBM Watson Analytics platform and discussed the various objectives of the tool. In preparation for the projects reviewed in the upcoming chapters, we explored the Watson interface as well as the IBM Cloud console.
Finally, we reviewed some fundamental startup tasks (such as adding a new dataset, accessing Watson sample data, and refining an existing dataset) to ensure we are ready to proceed with our first Watson project!
In the next chapter, we will start with our first IBM Watson project use case.
